Another Reminder: ACORN Isn't Dead
Publius Forum ^ | 11/10/10 | Warner Todd Huston

The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn't dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should.

I've also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is defunct is not a good assumption to make. These hardcore leftists won't give up easily.

Interestingly, the new ACORN will also launch in an effort to skip out on the old ACORN's creditors. That's typical, isn't it? So, to skip out on creditors and to get out from under it's ruined reputation and name, ACORN plans to rebrand itself...

Be careful imagining that ACORN is forever defunded by Congress. ll it will ever take is enough Democrats to push the idea and it will open the funding spigot once again. The only way to get rid of ACORN totally is to kill it with the law by hunting down and prosecuting all their criminal activities.

What we need to do is cut off tax funds for all such groups, why is government funding non-government orgs in the first place?

Exactly. We must also prosecute these illegal actors!

Do a quick search of the “Working Families Party”. See what the little acorn grows. The New York Working Families Party was first organized by a coalition of unions, ACORN and community organizations.

2009 accused of not paying rent, primary voter fraud and questions on their relationship to a for profit organization called Data and Field services.

“See what the little acorn grows.”

Exactly. ACORN is simply branching out and giving itself new names.

ACORN is like a snake. The only way to kill it is to cut its head off! Defund and investgate!

I wouldn't be surprised if ACORN operated a bunch of blogs too.

They likely write stuff, excerpt it on legitimate sites, and
make money from the blog hits to fund these nefarious purposes.

Thank God folks on our side are above such scummy practices.

Right?

On the news the other day, a pundit said offhandedly that ACORN is no longer around as they were defunded.

Well they were defunded, then the dems re funded them again.

Of course they feigned shutting down, and (as you note in your article) started numerous new groups for the same purpose of fraudulent voting.

New York Communities for Change, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and New England United for Justice mentioned in your article, but there are dozens if not scores more.

ACORN, one of Obama's Community Organization groups.

Thanks for the post.

Here is the whole blog post, not much to it, odd that the rest of it couldn’t be posted

_________

The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn’t dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should.

I’ve also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is defunct is not a good assumption to make. These hardcore leftists won’t give up easily.

Interestingly, the new ACORN will also launch in an effort to skip out on the old ACORN’s creditors. That’s typical, isn’t it? So, to skip out on creditors and to get out from under it’s ruined reputation and name, ACORN plans to rebrand itself.

As the NY Post reports:

“[Over] the next week or so we should see a dozen or more organizations launched on the state level by staff who used to work for ACORN and leaders who developed their skills as ACORN members,” ACORN strategist Nathan Henderson-James wrote in February.

“These are not just simple name changes, but re-imaginings of how best to organize low and moderate income constitiuencies [sic] without any of the legal problems and funding issues dogging ACORN, not to mention the brand damage.”

And as the Post reports, as if on cue new ACORNesque groups began to pop up on the radar. “Sure enough,” the Post says, “numerous ACORN spinoffs began popping up, including New York Communities for Change, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and New England United for Justice.”

Remember, folks. Each and every one of these groups intend to bleed the taxpayers of money, too.

… and ACORN’s creditors? Well, as the Post says, paying bills is for “other people,” not the fine folks from the Democrat associated ACORN.

I wonder why the whole thing couldn’t be posted?

As writing goes, it’s better than typical blog fare.

Why the author is so ashamed of it I cannot imagine.

Odd, that.
